            IFileRepositoryService fileRepos =  FileRepositoryServiceFactory.Create();
 
 // Specify the connection details for the repository access
           ConnectionDetails fDetails = new ConnectionDetails();
           fDetails.FileRepositoryDirectory = "\\\\MyMachineName\\FREPOS";
 
 // Connect to the File Repository Service
           fileRepos.Connect(fDetails).ContinueWith((t) =>
{
            
         bool isConnected = t.Result;
            
}
